Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Greenwood Village, CO
An assessor determines whether mold is present, identifies where it is growing, and measures how far it has spread — before any remediation quote is issued. A mold inspection locates moisture and growth that a room-level look would miss, reading wall cavities, subfloor, and the areas behind finished surfaces. The result is a scope: what is affected, what has to come out, and what is driving the moisture.
The pro who inspects is the pro who quotes
Most people reach this page after noticing something rather than after something broke: a smell that returns, a stain that spreads, a room that feels damp. An inspection answers what is actually there and where the moisture comes from, which is the information every later decision depends on. Several states, Texas among them, keep assessment and remediation as separate licensed roles specifically so the party identifying the problem is not the party selling the fix. Nothing here is medical advice — if you have health questions, those are for a clinician.

Frequently asked questions
A hairline in the basement wall opens in May and tightens by August. What is moving?
The claystone is. Denver Formation beds under this suburb take water in May, when snowmelt and rain arrive together, and swell against the wall; they dry and shrink through the summer. A crack that tracks that calendar is the soil speaking, not the concrete failing in a new way. Managing the water that reaches the clay — roof discharge carried well away, grade that still falls from the wall — reduces the swing. Filling the crack alone does not.
The yard is dry by June. Why was the basement wet in May?
May is the overlap month. Snow is still coming off the Front Range and the first real storms of the year land on ground that is already wet from melt. The claystone takes that pulse, the backfill trench fills, and a basement wall that will be dry in July is wet for three weeks. June looking dry is not a contradiction; it is the other half of the same cycle.
The office lots next door seem to drain onto our street. Does that matter?
It can load a basin that was sized for houses. Pavement sheds May melt and rain almost immediately, and if that volume enters the same detention the residential streets use, the basin rises faster than the design assumed. Houses on the low side of that system take the extra as surface water at the curb and as a higher table in the backfill. The office park is not leaking into your basement; it is filling the shared outlet first.
